I really am pretty happy with my team (and very happy with my decision to leave the draft in the hands of Benzo, rather than the computer).

I think I'd call my team the "All Upside Team" with Zimmerman, Tulowitzki, Lincecum, Rich Hill, Markakis and Reyes (who really needs to bounce back from a terrible end to last year). Could probably use a front line starter also, but Pedro seems healthy.

I definitely erred on the (up)side of caution with some of my picks. I'm glad that you were satisfied with the picks overall. I'd be lying if I told you that I wasn't incredibly nervous about screwing everything up.
I'm still baffled by the scoring system used for fantasy sports (which is part of the reason I want nothing to do with fantasy sports...aside from donating 2 1/2 hours to draft my friend's team). If the categories for offense are: Avg, HR, RBI, Runs, SB, why is Reyes ranked ahead of Wright? Wright gives you far more HR, RBI and Avg, and also provides a lot of SBs and runs. Somehow, Reyes is ranked ahead of Wright (which is why I picked him first).
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
I think it's all a matter of degrees. Expectations within each category, if you will, and the ability of Reyes to outperform in a number of them. Let's take a guess at expectations:
Reyes
120R, 15HR, 80RBI, 80Steals, .300
Wright
100R, 35HR, 120RBI, 25steals, .315
Reyes' outperformance in steals and runs (and potential for 20+ HR and higher than .300 average) make him incredibly valuable. Wright is a top tier performer, but rbi and HR are easier to piece together than steals. Additionally, for me at least, I don't know where Wright will bat in the order and who will protect him.
